It isn’t complicated. @WMPolice didn’t want Jewish fans in Birmingham because they feared Islamist violence. So they found (or made up) reasons to ban them, listened to the wrong people, and took the easy option. Then they tried to cover it up. Then they got caught.

People really are stupid. It's not confidential information from a "source" when said source outs himself at a press conference before the UK's entire media and then denies what he's said. Do keep up for heaven's sake.
Unethical and plain unwise for a journalist to reveal confidential information from a source: even if the source is Robert Jenrick.

Sean Connery lived in the Bahamas but you cared big time about his support for Scottish separatism. Then there’s that Scot’s actor who lives in New York always going on about it too …
@afneil You live in France Why do you care what Scotland does?

Remember when Rory Stewart was a Tory? It was MPs like him that begun the destruction of the Tory Party. Liberal wets.

@JohnRentoul The phrase "Tony Blair should come back" should only ever be uttered next to "to face justice"

Self serving hubristic bollocks from a man who wouldn't know a principle if he stumbled across it. A total lack of self-knowledge. He slags off the party he wamted to lead. This is one defection I suspect Reform UK will come to regret. With every word he's proving Kemi right.

This is staggering. A Freedom of Information request has revealed that 80% of suspects arrested for theft offences on the British railway network in the year 2024-25 were foreign nationals.

Despite making up just 10 per cent of the population, foreign nationals accounted for 80 per cent of all train arrests

I have no political loyalty - I challenge them all equally - but the way this woman manages down her startle factor, gets a grip and does what needs to be done does bode well for a crisis situation
I have sacked Robert Jenrick from the Shadow Cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership with immediate effect. I was presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect in a way designed to be as damaging as possible to his

Kemi showed true leadership today with decisive action and has been proven right. Correct decision.

More evidence of the damage Brexit hasn't done to inward investment... The UK was ranked 3rd for newly announced FDI projects between 2022 and 2025 - behind only the US and India - up from 4th in 2015–19, McKinsey said in a report published on Thursday. https://t.co/O9n5If3Qyf

There are red lines for everyone, mine are individuals response to Covid. If you showed a prediliction to State overreach that runs deep into core of your soul. It isn't hindsight, it was obvious to anyone who wasn't a total fanny at the time.
@BurnsideWasTosh @GuidoFawkes Find me an MP that you agree everything they have done with hindsight.

Lot of “the fundamental thing behind the Jenrick defection is x” going on. The fundamental thing is this. He was sticking with the Tories because he thought he could replace Kemi Badenoch after May. And he’s jumped because he’s realised he can’t.
